Induced Gamma-Band Activity and Human Brain Function
@article{Kaiser2003InducedGA, title={Induced Gamma-Band Activity and Human Brain Function}, author={Jochen Kaiser and Werner Lutzenberger}, journal={The Neuroscientist}, year={2003}, volume={9}, pages={475 - 484} }
Oscillatory activity in the gamma-band range has been related both to gestalt perception and to cognitive functions such as attention, learning, and memory. After giving a brief account of recent findings from electroencephalography and intracortical recordings, the present review will focus on spectral activity in the magnetoencephalogram. Here, gamma-band effects are topographically more local and involve higher frequencies than in the electroencephalogram. Bottom-up-driven auditory spatial…

Investigation of oscillatory signals in magnetoencephalogram (MEG) during different types of auditory processing found that oscillatory activity in MEG may provide unique information about both the activity of local networks and cortico-cortical integration.

GBA was increased over left inferior frontal cortex, replicating previous results of putative auditory ventral stream activation during passive pattern deviance processing, and additional GBA enhancements over superior frontal cortex were specific to active target detection.

Spatially filtered MEG and permutation analysis was used to precisely localize cortical generators of the magnetic counterpart of Fmθ, as well as other sources of oscillatory activity associated with mental calculation processing (i.e., arithmetic subtraction), confirming and extended earlier EEG/MEG studies indicating that Fm θ during mental calculation is generated in the dorsal anterior cingulate and adjacent medial prefrontal cortex.

An EEG study investigating the interactions between multisensory (audio-visual) integration and spatial attention, using oscillatory gamma-band responses (GBRs) found that attention particularly affects the integrative processing of audiovisual stimuli at these early latencies.

Gamma-band activity during the volume task may reflect auditory pattern encoding in auditory ventral stream areas and increased coupling between networks serving representation of audiospatial information and frontal executive systems seems to activate frontal and parietal neuronal ensembles.

The results support the hypothesized role of anterior temporal/ventral prefrontal regions in the processing of auditory pattern change and extend earlier findings of gamma-band activity over posterior parieto-temporal cortex during auditory spatial processing that supported the putative auditory dorsal stream.
